Trump betrays those who believed his health care promises

Despite Obamacare primarily being setup to provide health care for the most vulnerable in American society, the House Republicans’ replacement adds up to big tax cuts for the rich. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a main opponent of the House bill, won re-election with 57 percent of the vote.

Secondly, if approved, the act would hit older low-income people the hardest.

“If they think the House is going to pass their bill, they’re being unreasonable”, he said.

Overall, Trump’s replacement plan is quite controversial, so much so that even some of the Republicans are not onboard with it.

For others, it is not conservative enough.

House Republicans are still wrestling over some basic foundations of their leaders’ plan.

But that would require more than repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act.

It includes repealing fines on people who choose not to purchase insurance and overhauling the federal-state Medicaid program.

Meadows said the “only score that matters” is whether Americans find their health care costs and premiums decreasing after the final bill’s passage.

“We never got to a place where it was adamant, we realized that in that meeting in about an hour that another one was needed”, Walker, a North Carolina Republican, told CNN after the meeting. Although Spicer declined to confirm the authenticity of the leaked materials, he associated their contents with the Obama administration.

Since the new proposal extends Medicaid expansion for three years, some Republicans are anxious it would “worsen” the federal budget.

A meeting of the House Rules Committee, which decides how legislation will be treated on the floor and whether it can be amended, Wednesday afternoon grew testy after Democrats brought up Spicer’s comments from earlier in the day.

“This is a Republican welfare entitlement”, it read.

In the end, Spicer’s defense of the GOP’s plan ended up making the exact opposite case he was hoping to make: That the individual mandate is necessary to keep the health insurance industry afloat.

Speaking on the floor of the Senate on 8 March, minority leader Charles Schumer used the phrase “Trumpcare” on 15 separate occasions, and registered his objections to the GOP’s proposals after the draft bill was made available. Several hundred people staff the White House and it’s hard to imagine Spicer is informed of their whereabouts at all times-though if the percentage of female staffers mirrors that of Trump’s cabinet it’s more believable.
